A Grad Student’s Guide to Getting the Most Out of the AHA Annual Meeting

So, you’re in graduate school, and you’re wondering whether or not to register for the Annual Meeting and attend sessions. I touched upon this in Six Questions about the Annual Meeting in the November issue of Perspectives, but the answer is absolutely. There are a number of sessions, receptions, and forums that are of special interest to graduate students this year. Take advantage of this opportunity to network, and obtain career advice and knowledge!

More information about registering as a graduate student can be found below.

First, the AHA will play host to a Career Fair on January 4, allowing history majors and job candidates to explore the myriad options for them to use their skills and knowledge.

Student AHA member preregistration is $76 and $82 on site. Student non-member preregistration is $116 and $122 on site. If you are a student non-member planning to attend the 2014 Annual Meeting, it is more economically sound to join the AHA ($40 a year) and to pay the student member rate, for a total of $116/$122, allowing you to attend the Annual Meeting and enjoy full AHA member benefits for a year. Looking forward to seeing a lot of you at the sessions!
